Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Miss having Steve Shapson around. He was the developer and maker of the Force 10 and the the Force foils. Some of the earliest quad power foils.

Steve was lucky if he weighed 100 pounds soaking wet yet always was into the most powerful kites. No wonder he won the sand skiing in the video.

He was also a mischievous sort, always fun.

Also note Lee Sedgewick flying the quad line with thick lines. When flying quad he usually flew by passing the lines through his hands, rather than having a handle. There were knots on the line to orient himself.

I've owned 3-4 Force-10s but sold them all over the years. Now, I actually have a another one heading my way this week in the mail. Can't wait to make some noise and get back to some strong pulling, old style flying!
